the player while charging, with the power switch in the “OFF” position, and not leaving it charging for more than 8 hours.

For battery saving, your MP3 Video Player has two systems:

It will power off the LCD display after 30 seconds of inactivity, and it will power off completely after another 10 minutes of inactivity. Both systems are

configurable, respectively, browsing the menus “SETTINGS” → “Display”, or “SETTINGS” → “Power off”. In order to maximize the battery’s
